THROUGH THE PURPLE HAZE - CHALLENGE NO 94 - THINGS WITH WINGS

Hello there! We've had some changes on the TTPH blog this year, the team has been split into two and our challenges are now fortnightly. So here's my first contribution for Team Bubbles where our theme is 'Things with Wings'. We've been sponsored by 'All Dressed Up' and they are offering 2 digis to our challenge winner so come on let's see your creations!

Wendy Burns who owns the shop, lives in Nottinghamshire - just like moi - and she has some absolutely super images to choose from.Ingredients7" x 7" White card blank - Anna Marie DesignsImage - 'Fairy Magic' from All Dressed Up StampsLace Edger die (SD 007) - Joanna Sheen Signature DiesRibbon Banners LG die - Spellbinders DiesPippi Butterfly die - Memory Box DiesPin Point Scalloped Circles die - Memory Box 'Open Studio' DiesPin Dot Circles die - Tattered Lace DiesPatterns of the Rainbow paper pad - Aspire CraftsPromises pad - LOTVFlexmarkers Sparkles pens - Spectrum NoirPearl flower embellishments - Brenda's Lace and Ribbon SpecialsI do hope we see your creations very soon. By the way - we are having a very busy week trawling around catteries - yup we've decided we're going on holiday and don't want to leave three terrors alone in the house - goodness knows what sort of things they'd get up to - orgies, parties, disco's, smoking catnip - oooh you name it! So we've been out and found a lovely place and the 'rooms' are really big - of course we'd need to have one for each cat 'cos they never sleep in the same room - well they are divas of course. Having said that, Donny is being left at home because he is so timid and frightened of his own shadow that it would be too stressful for him and our neighbour will take care of him for us. Just got to sort out our insurance now - that's an hour or three on the 'phone because they need to know 'the in's and out's of Meg's backside' as my old uncle used to say - bless him. They have to know all about my medical bits and bobs but we don't care as long as we are covered. I had a week all planned out but we suddenly decided to do this so everything went haywire! Oh well - just looking forward to that sun and if Scottie can beam me up and transport me without the aid of an aeroplane, I would be more than grateful. Ooops just remembered - need to go to the Travel Agents now to book the holiday - duh!!!Take care all of you - I hope you are keeping well and dry.Hugs to you all.Love Sue xxx

Such a cute card Sue, lovely LO and design and you've coloured that sweet image to perfection!How exciting to be going on holiday -somewhere warm and sunny! We tend to holiday in the UK because we take Mathilda with us...have thought of dressing her up and trying to sneak her onto a plane but we think someone might notice...would be nice to get some sun this time of year though!Chrisx

I do love to see butterflies on a card. This looks lovely in those colours. Just been sorting out our air flights this week and the prices have shot through the roof. Nearly had a heart attack when I saw how much but if you want to go then you have to pay!!! Blooger is having right fun and games at the moment. It un followed me from 8 blogs over night and lost me 5 followers! I se your no longer following me but would love it if you'd re follow. Hugs Mrs A. (ValeryAnne designs).

Hi SueI'm playing catch up again.....so behind, you've got a new puddy tat!My favourite colour so its a fabulous card in my book with your wonderful colouring again.When I saw the title, the firs thing that popped into my head was an advert that used to be on TV but thank goodness you didn't use that for your inspiration lol!Best wishes.Ang x

Ps .....my Mum used to say I wanted to know the ins and outs of a cats backside....Meg sounds so much better lol!

Sue, this card is gorgeous! Love the fab colour gradient on the butterflies and her sweet wings. Beautifully coloured! Such a sweet image and perfect paper pairing. Thanks for your lovely message on my wedding card. I had a heart in mouth moment when I read about the horse shoes! I didn't even think about that! I totally did them upside down!! Oh dear. Will have to send them some positive vibes! LOL. Thanks for popping by my blog. Hugs, Wends x

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for almost 49 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
